The presidential address was delivered by Prof.(Dr.)V.P Devassia, Principal, College of Engineering Chengannur. This was followed by the seminar by Mr Githin F Alapatt. The seminar covered basic electronic concepts and his research topics, which are “Tantalum Polymer Capacitor and Silicon Nano Crystal Devices”. He gave a brief idea about new technologies in research. During the presentation he talked about the various possibilities of research and how his research had helped him. He talked about the research facilities available in India and those abroad. The talk presentation was over by 5:00 pm. The seminar was followed by an interactive doubt clearing session were doubts about Silicon Nano Crystals and about the possibilities of doing research abroad was discussed. At 5:30 the doubt clearing session concluded and a Gift, as a token of our appreciation was awarded to Mr. Githin F Alapatt.

.

After the event few students stayed back and talked with Mr. Githin F Alapatt about research and higher education. The theme of the seminar and the idea of doing research attracted many first years to the event and they have also shown there willingness to join IEEE.
